Comment: Great solution for using large external hard drives. I've run 1tb Hitachi drives for about 6 months now without a problem. Transfer rates are quick and no screws or cases are a big plus. I highly recommend this product over a sealed case external drive. Might even invest in the 2 bay model soon.

Summary: Good but emits strongly at 1.5Ghz 2010-08-22
Comment: eSATA cable + no hdd in dock emits a strong 1.5Ghz signal as it searching for a drive. This posed a big problem as it was causing considerable interference with our electronics lab. Once it finds a drive it bumps up to 3.0Ghz, but was a fun puzzle!

Summary: Works Well 2010-07-31
Comment: I purchased this unit after reviewing how the dual unit was subject to excess heat. This is a solid well built device. Easy to switch drives. Glad I purchased the eSata option as USB can be slow on transfer.

Summary: A must for laptop users 2010-07-29
Comment: Works great with the 1TB data drive from old desktop and made laptop migration painless.
I'm a professional photographer and finally made the leap from using a desktop system to a single notebook for everything. My HP Pavilion dv7 has the largest fast drives inside (a pair of Hitachi 500GB 7200RPM disks), but a photographer needs more. I have Windows 7 and all programs installed on one drive. At my home office I use this dock with a 1TB WD drive for all data. Now when I take the notebook with me, I'll transfer active files to the second internal drive.
This is a plug and play product; it took no tech savvy to connect it to power and the eSATA port on my computer. I slid the 3.5" drive into the slot and was up and running.
As I decommission the old desktop computer, I can yank two 500GB drives from it. I can swap out my collection of 3 500GB and one 1TB drives, in addition to the internal drives and a USB 2TB backup drive to organize tons of files and keep everything backed up with an off-site copy.
Great product! Don't think I'll ever buy another external drive enclosure.
